Abstract

The phenomenon of Banser (militia group under Nahdlatul Ulama) in the Reform Era is quite interesting to observe. While previously, this militia’s main duty was to ensure that all activities conducted by Nahdlatul Ulama ran smoothly, this organization has now expanded its activities from countering radicalism and terrorism activities to assisting disaster management programs. This signals a new transformation within this militia group and poses serious questions about the conception of security and citizenship practices. Banser actively protects religious minority groups so that they can practice their religious activities. Different from other religious militia groups such as the Islamic Defender Front (FPI) or Moslem Paramilitary Group (Laskar Umat Islam) who often commit violent actions, Banser has their own logic of security. This logic is mainly derived from religious values they hold: moderation, justice, tolerance, and balance. How they implement these values can be seen partly from their actions to protect and reject any violence against the religious vulnerable groups. This is because they believe that violence itself is against religion. Furthermore, their actions tend to advocate a certain form of citizenship based on religious values.

Abstract

The relationship between Islam and the West has been a subject of study for many scholars, yet the discussion seems never to end. Part of the reason is that their relationship is anything but simple as the historical records depict it: there was a period of tension, conflict and cooperation. The September 11 attack was critical since then the discussion between the two has been publicly discussed with the question of Islam, whether it would bring peace or instead, it would be a threat to the Western world. Employing desk research, this paper expands the discussion between Islam and the West by examining different ideas among Muslim scholars, from liberal to conservative or fundamentalist ones to see the prospect of promoting peaceful coexistence between the two. More than that, the progressive idea needs to be creatively spread and infused into the people’s consciousness so that the concept of peaceful coexistence would not only be the concern of elites but also that of the general public. Bringing this into view may shed some light to what extent the relationship between the two might be reconceptualized and proposed into a more peaceful one.

Abstract

Conflicts involving inter-religious groups, both those from the same tradition and those from different traditions, frequently occur in Indonesia. This is evident in various studies conducted by institutions addressing this issue, such as Human Rights Watch, the Setara Institute, and the Wahid Institute. Meanwhile, interreligious dialogue is frequently held in various forums and venues, involving numerous actors. This indicates that the dialogue has not been able to foster a transformation of the existing conflict. Through a literature review, this paper finds that the dialogue demonstrates a lack of commitment from religious leaders, remains highly elitist, and only seeks common ground without discussing and understanding existing differences.
